I Just Knew
People spend an eternity
Searching for the one
The
one with whom they
can be their selves
Where no walls are raised
No
need for disguise
Because in that person's eyes
We are close to perfection
as we can come
Fore
in humanity true perfection
is nonexistent
The closest to it comes in the eyes
of the person whom you love
A
comfort level
Complete
serenity
And when it comes time for the words
to be said
It's
I knew I loved you
And want to for the eternity ahead
A Mother's Worst Fear
I don't know how I'm suppose to feel
I just wish this wasn't real
This unforgivable sentence for my little man
And all I can do is make things bearable
And hold his precious hand
This anger
I hold down deep inside of me
Is like a fire
that cannot subside
I have had a fear for all
these years
Those words I was unprepared to hear
Trying to explain and make him somehow understand
Why it is that my little boy may never become
a grown man
I love you and so I hold out hope
But for now all we can do is pray and cope
